📝 Description
The Apple Newton was a series of personal digital assistants (PDAs) developed by Apple Inc. in the 1990s. It was one of the first devices to feature handwriting recognition and aimed to be a portable, intelligent assistant. Despite being ahead of its time, the Newton faced challenges with its handwriting recognition accuracy, high price, and bulky design, leading to its discontinuation.
